    I loved this underrated game. Kordell Stewart was a good running quarterback who led the Steelers to the AFC Championship game where he met John Elway again, and John got payback in that game

      @Hector Rodriguez Shanahan was perfect for elway with his elite passing but getting older they added a elite run game that's why terell Davis was the first of many consecutive different thousand yard rushers lol like mike Anderson and people remember olandis Gary lmao then Portia and rueben droughns and you get the hint ....

      @Patrick Mason Yeah Three Rivers Stadium used to get crazy loud cuz of the circular shape of the stadium 🏟. It would help raise the decibel level of the crowd noise.
      I'm a Patriots fan, and later that year in a play-off game at Three Rivers, Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe couldn't audible to the offense cuz the crowd noise was so insanely loud. Patriots wound up losing that playoff game in a nailbiter.

    This was a fun, unexpected season for the Steelers. Crazy how Kordell accounted for 32 TDs in 1997 as he caught the league off guard. Chan Gailey did a good job tailoring the offense to Stewart’s strengths but got too greedy in the AFC title game. Denver was so loaded. Look at the HOFs on this team: Elway, Davis, Smith, Sharpe, Zimmerman, Atwater. Not to mention other terrific pros like Tony Jones, Nalen, Neil Smith, Price, Romanowski, Mobley. I’m sure I’m forgetting some others. How in the world did Denver fit them all under the salary cap? In these days of TRS the Steelers had no money to keep more of their free agents. Denver got dinged in 1999 for cap circumvention and got docked draft picks IIRC. Smart move. Two SBs won.

    The Steelers ruined Kordell Stewart in 1998 when they tried to make him a pure passer, rather than just let him be slash and make plays. In 1997 Stewart was successful, because the Steelers didn't try to make him into a pass first quarterback. I think when Stewart revived his career in 2001, it was the same thing, the Steelers just let him be slash and not try to make him a pass first quarterback.
